26 Reasons to Love Boston

Article Abstract:

The Boston Marathon is in its 103rd year, and is still the favorite marathon for thousands of runners. It is the world's oldest continuously held marathon, and has strict qualifying standards. Some of the things that make the Boston Marathon special are the expo that offers race memorabilia and a place for getting autographs, the tradition of Wellesley College women lining 'the gauntlet' and cheering on runners, and the challenge of Heartbreak Hill.
